"IN FOR IT;" 

—OR,— 

Uncle Tony's Mistake. 

SCENE I. — Store-room, writing desh on one end oj 
counter. Mr. Brown discovered at desk icritlng. 

Ente/'ToTSiY, l., 2 e., initli letters, v;]iich he puts on writ- 
ing desh. 

Bravn. Thanks, Tony, {examines letter's) Nothing 
but bills. (Tony moves e.) Stop a momet, Tony, I wish 
to speak to vou. 

Tom/. What am yo' pleasure, sah ! 

Brotrn. I have noticed of late, that you are very much 
cast down, and go about your work in an awkward sort — 
of — a — don't — care manner. Why is it, Tony ? 

Tony. You forget, Mas'r Brown, it am only jes two 
weeks sense de Lawd done cum an' tuk Liza Jane way frum 
me. ' Mas'r Brown, I fines de erflickshun mighty hard to 
bar. (weeps) 1 does fur a lac'. 

Brcnim. Forgive me, Tony, I did not intend to cause 
you pain, but I did not think of your affliction, when I 
spoke. 

Tonij. It r.m a mighty hard trial, Mas'r Brown. 

Brov)n. And Eliza was a good woman, Tony. 

Tony. Dat's a fac', dat's a fac', Liza Jane waz de goodest 
woman in de worl', and it breaks me all up when I men- 
tions de fac'. {iveeps 

Broivn. Well, I respect your grief. Uncle Tony, and am 
going to give you a holiday all of next week, not because 
your wife died, but because you have been a good servant, 

Tony. Thank you, Mas'r Brown. (bows 

Brown. And now, Uncle Tony, I want you to ^o down 



4 m FOB IT. 

and see Aunt Lucy and see if slie won't come and take 
Eliza's place in the kitchen. 

Tony. Alright, Mas'r Rfo-vn. [goes l.) Say, Mas'r 
Brown, I don't b'lieve I can bUui' it to see Aunt Lucy takin' 
pore Liza Jane's place in the kitchen. Eberytime I'd see 
her, I'd think dat Liza Jane wuz cum back, an' I'd all de 
time be thinkin' ob de 'flickshun dat I'se had, an' — 

Bpovm. Aunt Lucy is a splendid cook. Uncle Tony. 

Tony. Dat's a fac'. I neber thought ob dat. 

Brovm. And they say that she has some property of 
her own. Who knows, Tony, but after your affliction wears 
away somewhat, that you might find it pleasant to form an 
attachment for Aunt Lucy. 

Tonij. Oh ! go 'way now. 

Brown,. Stranger things than that has happened. 

Tony. Dat's a fac', Mas'r Brown, dat's a fac'. But den, 
I'tse got feelin's fur Liza Jane, which I'se boun' to suspect. 

Broion. I didn't suppose your affliction for your wife 
was so great, considering the many quarrels and fights you 
had. and in which you always came out badly worsted. 

Tony. Yas, Liza Jane wuz a hard hitter, an' gen'ly 
knocked de stuffin' out'en me. But den, you know, arter a 
man's lived wid a woman forty odd yeahs, he doan minu 
iem little picnics. 

Brown. I don't believe I would ever get use to them. 

Tony. Why, ef me an' Lizi Jane didn't hab one ob dem 
little scrimmages ebery day, I jes thought I didn't hab de 
proper exercise, an' wuz no 'count fur nuthin'. Why, m:in, 
dat am jes de life ob de business. But dem little picnic's 
all busted now. [ny^ep^ 

Broriyn. There, Tony, cease your weeping. Cheer up 
and remember that you are a deacon of the church, and can 
command the respect of most any of the sisters. 

Tony. Dat's a fac', Mas'r Brown, dat's a fac'. I'se a 
deacon ob de church, an' it ain't right nor proper fo' me to 
be griebin' like dis arter de milk what's done got spilt, 
while de res' ob de Hock am sufferin' fo' de consultashun ob 
de deacon, an' I'se jes gwine to take yo' advice an' dry 
my stears ob sorrow, an' trus' to de good Lawd for future 
liappiness, But it am mighty hard to part wid Liza JuuQ^ 



IN FOR IT, t 

It am fur a fac'. 'Deed it am, Mas'r Brown. {weeps 

Broiim. Come, come, Uncle Tony, this won't do. {looH 
L.) Quick, Tony, dry those tears. Here comes Aunt 
Lucy, bringing a basket of eggs to market. (Tony wipes 
his eyes vjith handkei'c/iief, brushes clothes and hustles 
around) Ah ! that's something like your old self, Tony. 
I'll leave you here to attend to her wants. You can speak 
to her about coming here in the capacity of cook. 

(ex/'t, R., 2 E. 

7o?ty. In de capsasity of cook ! Wonder what part ob 
de business dat am ? Capsasity ob cook ! Guess I won't

Tony. De ole wench said it wuz Sam White. 
Broicm. The old wench ! Come, Tony, you should have 
more respect for Aunt Lucy than to call her an old wench. 
Tony. Wa'al, dat's all she am, de naisty, greasy ole 
wench. 

Brown. Why, Tony, I'm surprised at your language. 
You talk just like a man that had just popped the question 
and been refused. Eh ! Tony? {sticks Jinger in Tony's 
side) Said no, did she ? 

Tony. Go 'way now, wid your foolishness. You know 

better dan dat. What fur I want to marry dat ole woman? 

Brown, (looks l.) Here she comes, Tony, all dressed 

up in her Sunday clothes. I guess you must have made an 

impression on her. 

Tony. I'll make an im})ression on her ef she comes foolin' 
'round dis chile, {shakes his foot) I'll jes' gib her to un- 
derstan' dat I'se a deacon ob de chu'ch, an' I'se got a 'flick- 
shun to b'ar. 

Brown. Yes, she is coming here. I'll bet you'll be in 
for it now. Well, I'll just step out and give you a chanca 
I know you are getting sweet on the old lady.
